Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chicken broth

Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and chicken broth. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become bright green and slightly tender.

        Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the spinach has wilted.

          Combine Flavors: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. Cook for an extra minute to let all the flavors meld together.

            Serve: Plate the garlic chicken with broccoli and spinach. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an added burst of flavor.
